When the Road Is Slippery

ANOTHER brilliant piece…..but it would be nice to add some more thoughts…..

Creative Expressions

When the road is slippery 

and going, tough, 

one needs to exercise extra caution 

and move with

careful, small steps, 

for a while.

 

No need to panic 

nor lose patience! 

Just to brace up…muster

confidence that it’s okay,  it’ll be okay. 

A quick reaffirmation of faith

in oneself and Him 

and maybe a little bit of intuition,

to make a quick…rather instant decision

about what to do and how.

 

That seems about all,

the need of the moment…hour 

to see oneself across the hazard

safe, unharmed, 

whenever, wherever in life,

the road is slippery 

and going, tough!

Footprints on the Dewy Grass

Brilliant sir….

Creative Expressions

IMG_20150405_081636

Early morning 

walking in the park, 

I picked some footprints, freshly laid,

on the dewy grass.

 

Mesmerizing indeed, 

the sight of the pearl studded,

lush green flooring 

with a pair of shoeprints…smudges,

traversing from one side

to the other,

disappearing finally across the hedge.

 

Footprints, simply put, 

are the marks that indicate, 

someone has trodden the untrodden track

before you.

A confirmation,

there lies a path ahead. 

You may choose to follow

or make one of your own.

 

But, no point in getting entangled

in the knowledge web, nor philosophy.

No time to waste.

Just grab the moment, feel the thrill

at the sight of the sparkling dew drops

vying to outshine each other 

in the soft, gentle rays of the rising sun.

 

Why? Because you know

the awesome miniature droplets,  

highly fragile, volatile,

would soon evaporate…vanish into the thin air,

as the sun rises…

umra ka takaaja

एक और पहर ढल रहा , ज़िंदगी के सफ़र का
एक और सजर गिर रहा, मेरी रहगुज़र का

कुछ यूँ बीते पुराने कल , जो आज पर भारी है
हर जख्म हर मुस्किल की मेरी ही बारी है

मेरा क्या था मैं तो बढता ही चला गया
ये रास्ता था जो कहानी गड़ता चला गया

पैमाना भर गया सितम का तेरे या अभी भी कुछ बाकी है
हर लम्हा नशे मैं मेरी तरह मेरी साकी है…..

कुछ ऐसा नशा रहता था वो मेरे हमसफ़र का
एक और पहर ढल रहा , ज़िंदगी के सफ़र का…..

ज़माने ने खूब दिखाया रंग अपना कई बार मुझे
हवाओ की पुरजोर कोशिश थी मेरा चिराग कुछ देर तो बुझे

पर उन हवाओ से सीखा रुकना नहीं है मुझे
खड़े पेडो से सीखा झुकना नहीं हैं मुझे

आदत अब यु ही जीने की हो गयी है
नींद भी जाने किन तन्हाइयो मैं खो गयी है

साथ रहा गमो का हर पल शामो सहर का
एक और पहर ढल रहा , ज़िंदगी के सफ़र का……

GAHNAA

वो दिन और थे जब मैं तेरा गहना था
सब कुछ भुला के ,मेरा रंग ही तूने पहना था
ये क्या हुआ की सतरंगी धनक भी बेरंग है
कुछ यादें ही तो है जो अब मेरे संग हैं
जमाना था जब साथ चले साथ जीए थे कभी
अब अकेले राहों मैं पूछते है सभी
वो तेरा हमसफर छूट गया या छोड़ गया
हसकर मैं उनको देखता हूँ,मुझे कुछ ना कहना था

वो दिन और थे जब मैं तेरा गहना था

रंगों को उड़ना था रुपों को ढलना था
जो तू आज है वैसा तू कल ना था
साज जो दिल ने सजाये थे,बिन सजे रह गए
राज जो दिल ने दबाये थे,बिन कहे रह गए
तुम कुछ और साथ देती तो शायद मैं संभल जाता
उम्र भर ना सही,कुछ पल तो दिल बहल जाता
पर शायद इस दिल को तन्हा ही रहना था

वो दिन और थे जब मैं तेरा गहना था….

लो कह दिया अलविदा हमने,लो थम गए कदम
लो तोड़ दिए धागे दिलों के,लो हो गए हम बरहम
तुमको जाना था किसी रोज,ये मुझको एतबार था
दिल को फिर भी ना जाने क्यूँ तेरे रुक जाने का इंतज़ार था
पर अब तुम वो कहाँ और अब हम भी वो ना रहे
ये मैं नहीं तुम नहीं बड़े हुए फासले कह रहे
लो भर गए जख्म मेरे बिना किसी मरहम
लो कह दिया अलविदा हमने,लो थम गए कदम

यादें साथ ले जाओगी या कुछ सदायें छोड़ जाओगी
ढह गयी मकान की मंजिले उसकी नीव को भी हिलाओगी
ऐ सितमगर कुछ तो मेरी मोहब्बत का भरम रख
मंजिल को देखके अपने तेवर तो नरम रख
फितरत हमारी भी यूँ लुट जाने की ना थी
चाहत तुमको रुखसत कर जाने की थी
अच्हा किया जालिम जो तूने तोड़ दिया मेरा भरम
लो कह दिया अलविदा हमने,लो थम गए कदम

नया सफ़र नया साथी दोनों तुझे मुबारक
मुझे बंजर जमीन मुनासिब तुझे इमारत मुबारक
बुझे हुए शोलों को अब कभी ना हवा देना
निकले कभी लपटे उन्हें भी दबा देना
मैं तो सदा रास्तों मैं था,मंजिले तुमको प्यारी थी
साथ चलने की खुसी कहाँ तुमको पहुचने की खुमारी थी
बढ जा ओ बिछडे साथी , ना दे मुझे अब और जखम
लो कह दिया अलविदा हमने,लो थम गए कदम

Mera safar

मेरे सफ़र में मैं ही राही और मैं ही मुन्तजिर
कुछ ने कहा नमाजी कुछ बोले मुझे काफिर
मंजिल ढूढने जो निकले थे ये कदम कई अरसो से
अब सफ़र से ही इनका रिश्ता है बरसो से
थम जाओ ओ थपेड़ो की रहगुज़र अभी बाकी है
या दीदार करा दे मेरी ज़िन्दगी से एक बार फिर

मेरे सफ़र में मैं ही राही और मैं ही मुन्तजिर

राह मे कुह ने कहा की हम तुम्हारे हमसफ़र हैं
नीयत उनकी जो देख पाता ऐसी कहाँ मेरी नज़र है
एक झोंका आया और रास्ते उन्होंने बदल दिए
भरी धुप मैं अकेला छोड़ मुझे अपने नए रास्तो पे चल दिए
इन झोंको से मैंने सीखा अकेला चलना है तुझे ए मुसाफिर

मेरे सफ़र मे मैं ही राही और मैं ही मुन्तजिर

रेत मैं सोना मैंने पाया रास्तो मैं अपने
मंजिले उनको मिली, मुझे मिले सपने
गिले सिक्वे अब उनसे नहीं रखता हूँ
दिल की बात अब दिल मे ही रखता हूँ
गीत ज़िन्दगी का गुनगुनाता है ये दिल एक बार फिर

मेरे सफ़र में मैं ही राही और मैं ही मुन्तजिर……

Standing by a Vast, Placid Lake

Creative Expressions

Dimna Lake at Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, India Dimna Lake at Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, India

One fine evening,

standing by a vast placid lake,

deep blue in hue,

turning deeper every moment,

as the sun prepares to call it a day.

 

Watching the immeasurable,

unfathomable lake,

flanked…cuddled fondly

by dark mountains,

The lake looks so placid,

but not without mild ripples, crease-like,

produced by a soft tickle,

from a gentle, freshening breeze.

 

My heart, all of a sudden

goes up to the legendary muse,

the ‘Nature’s Priest’

 whose heart ‘leapt up’

when he saw a rainbow in the sky.

 

I try to feel, visualize, absorb

each nuance and emotion

the legendary poet must have gone through

in those divine…immortal moments,

and find myself blessed with

a strange calm and

tranquility of the soul

and a tryst with divinity.

Remittance and FDI

I were actully planning to come here to write something on weekend but what bring me here with lots of anxiety and question is a news i just read in economic times of today…they expresssed in a very positive manner that india receives maximum remittance (money deposited for indians from the world) and they compared it with FDI (foreign direct investment) and the remittance is 3 times of FDI received .For a developing country like india its very hopefull and good news but the hidden reality is far beyond this….ok let me take you one example of a non residential indians who earns 100 rupees outside india…and he deposited 50 (by excluding his own expenses and exchange rate of particular soft currency).he is ready to give fifty percent of his income to relative in india but what could be possibly imagine here is if we could have provided them a opportunity or a atmosphere of earning 100 here itself it could have tripled the remittance amount we received.so what is my point is if we are able to stop brain drain from india it could benefit us in following manner

1. As we know the quality of HRD of India is very low (recently quoted by a daily agency that 6 out of 10 are not interested in the job they have assigned so the quality which have drained already if will stay here it will encourage the quality improvement in HRD

2. FDI, which is totally profiting oriented investment of foreign parties is not benefitting us in that extent as they are not interested in long term benefits.they just wanted to harness the investment potential of a country by exploiting natural resources or cheap human resources for their own benefits (as they did in case of CHINA). So investment by local investor should foster by providing an investor friendly atmosphere and by relaxing tax norms.

So what i wanted to express in these words that we have to stop the brain drain from our country to make it a better place for investment and to stop the emigration of  quality brains from India which could help us in the maximum utilization of demographic dividends and potential……

Higher Education

Being a doctoral student, I think I have enough exposure from various higher education institutions in India ,what triggered me to write this blog is actully an odd experience i recently had ,when walking to mess for my lunch i found two boys discussing something related to their exams which just happened….they were PGDFM (post graduate diploma in forest management) student of Indian institute of forest management.they were talking that most of the questions are repeated from last year question papers that is really very unfortunate for a learning process, i think a better learning could be achieved by periodic polishing and summing of knowledge someone earn in a due time,it is very vital to examine the knowledge grasp of students by taking exams or test but when they repeat the questions from previous paper it gives birth to kind of plagiarism.i found many student searching previous old papers just before the exams.but the responsibility comes to teacher diaspora also as they are strangles with overburdened official work they are unable to sufficient time in paper making which weakens the process of learning .i observed this thing from my graduation in my alma matter university in kanpur also.it drastically decrease the interest of student in preparation of a particular suject and new concepts as he confined himor herself to repeated questions…..another think which haunts me is everybody just want to pass or clear and then go forward.the infrastructural lacking of indian education is already plunging its human resource to one of the weakest in world and after that no body wants to learn no body wants knowledge…all they want is to get settle and live the luxary in which they believe….its really very unfortunate for this generation that they are skipping the best part of study,books,technology and new methods of this technological era.my suggestion is to change the mindset for the studies they are doing and get indulge themselves in process of learning…
